Could The Sleeplessness, Loss Of Appetite, Restlessness And Palpitation Due To The Use Of Eltroxin For A Pregnant Lady?

I am 23 weeks pregnant. I have been taking eltroxin 50 mcg since the beginning of my pregnancy to control the thyroid level. However, I have recently developed restlessness, lost of appetite, palpitation as well as sleeplessness. Can it be due to Eltroxin, as when I do not take it in any day, I can at least sleep for some time.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your symptoms are not due to eltroxin, it can be due to suboptimal dose of medication.
So you should get your TSH level done so that eltroxin dose can be revised according to that.
I hope your query has been answered.
Regards,
I find this answer helpful
